Hyundai Santa Cruz Reviews

Santa Cruz Performance

To take you to extreme heights, you first need some thrilling power. The Hyundai Santa Cruz is born to delight with the following motor options…

• 2.5-liter inline 4-cylinder engine: 191 horsepower and 181 lb-ft of torque
• 2.5-liter inline 4-cylinder turbo engine: 281 horsepower and 311 lb-ft of torque

No matter which one appeals to you, you’re sure to have the performance you need to trek far and wide. If you want to bring your camper with you as well, equip your model with the available turbo powertrain with all-wheel drive and you’ll be able to haul up to 5,000 pounds.

Santa Cruz Exterior

One look at the Hyundai Santa Cruz and you’ll notice this vehicle is unlike any you’ve seen before. As a Sport Adventure Vehicle, it’s a daring blend of the body of an SUV with the bed of a truck. At only 195.7 inches in length, this vehicle rules the road but is still slim enough to navigate narrow trails with ease.

The bed of the Santa Cruz also enables you to carry a payload up to 1,753 pounds—perfect for camping gear or a few dirt bikes.
